condor.q doesn't work

[chongguang]

Hello, I'm using your project for my work. But I ran into a problem when using the condor.q function:

when I use the following code:
htcondor.q().then(function(jobs) {
console.log("jobs :"+jobs.length);
//console.dir(jobs);
});

I always get the output: jobs:0

However when I type the condor_q command in my windows cmd, I got:

-- Submitter: grid-master : 10.0.0.110:49284 : grid-master
ID OWNER SUBMITTED RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD
128.0 grid 9/22 15:33 0+00:00:00 I 0 0.0 job.bat

1 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 1 idle, 0 running, 0 held, 0 suspended

I'm wondering if this problem comes from your code? Hope that you can help me, thanks a lot.

And in fact, the following code is not working neither for me:

htcondor.q({id: "128.0"}, function(err, job){
console.log(JSON.stringify(job, null, 4));
console.log(job);
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(job);
}
})

@chongguang Thank you for reporting this problem.

For the first issue you've reported, I've found a problem and patched it and released a new version.

However, I am not sure about the second one. Could it be that the job has left the queue by the time you ran the htcondor.q({id: "128.0"})?

Anyway, can you update your htcondor npm package (v 0.0.29) and retry?

[chongguang]

Hi @soichih I installed the 0.0.29 and retried the code:

htcondor.q().then(function(jobs) {
console.log("jobs :"+jobs.length);
//console.dir(jobs);
});

But it's the same result, I always get jobs :0

Hi @soichih , I looked at your patch. It seems to me that you didn't do any modification to the function condor_q. You just modified the condor_remove. Maybe you forgot to push?

[chongguang]

I also used your sample:

htcondor.q({user:""}).then(function(jobs) {
console.log("jobs :"+jobs.length);
console.dir(jobs);
});

it's always jobs :0

The github diff are kind of hard to see, but this update applies to the htcondor_q function

1819a69#diff-168726dbe96b3ce427e7fedce31bb0bcR459

I just tested 0.0.29 again locally and it works for me.

var htcondor = require('htcondor');
htcondor.q().then(function(jobs) {
    console.log(jobs.length);
});

Are you sure there were jobs in the condor q when you tested it?

The sample/q.js had broken sample. I've removed the code block you referenced, but sorry for the confusion. To look for jobs for specific user/jobid, you can do

var htcondor = require('htcondor');
htcondor.q("hayashis").then(function(jobs) {
    console.log(jobs.length);
});

Hello,

I checked another time, it's still them same result: condor_jobs :0

whereas in my Windows cmd, I have this:

-- Submitter: grid-master : 10.0.0.110:51340 : grid-master
ID OWNER SUBMITTED RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD
149.0 grid 9/29 15:08 0+00:00:20 R 0 0.0 job.bat

1 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 0 idle, 1 running, 0 held, 0 suspended

my code is :
htcondor.q("grid").then(function(condor_jobs) {
console.log("condor_jobs :"+condor_jobs.length);
//console.dir(jobs);
})

My grid system is a set of windows laptops, do you think the problem may come from here? Maybe it doesn't work well on Windows?

I haven't tested htcondor on windows cluster.. (and I don't know how to go about creating one). If you could submit a patch to fix this, I'd certainly merge it.
